Take a 26 oz bag of shredded hash browns out of the freezer and pour them into a colander about an hour before cooking to thaw and drain any excess liquid.

In a large bowl, combine the thawed hash browns, 1 stick of melted butter, 2 cups of sour cream, and 1 can of cream of chicken soup.

Add a few dashes of garlic powder, a few dashes of pepper, and 1 teaspoon of salt to the mixture.

Mix everything together well until fully combined.

Add 2 cups of shredded sharp cheddar cheese to the mixture and mix again until incorporated.

Pour the mixture into a greased 8x8 baking dish and a small oval dish, smoothing it out evenly.

In a separate bowl, combine 4 cups of crushed Corn Flakes with 1/2 stick of melted butter and mix until the flakes are coated.

Spread the cornflake mixture evenly over the top of the potato mixture in the baking dishes.

Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F for 42 minutes, checking for bubbling on the sides to determine doneness.
